Mr. Holland's Opus

1995-12-292h 23mDrama / Music7.0/10TMDB · 470 votes

In 1965, passionate musician Glenn Holland takes a day job as a high school music teacher, convinced it's just a small obstacle on the road to his true calling: writing a historic opus. As the decades roll by with the composition unwritten but generations of students inspired through his teaching, Holland must redefine his life's purpose.

“Of all the lives he changed, the one that changed the most was his own.”

The world, in frames.

Stills, posters, and artwork in every language.
